[Rhodes22-list] Motor Lift Repair - what material?

[r22rumrunner at aol.com]

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Or call Stan at General  
Boats and get a replacement part, While you are at it, get both sides. The  
materials used today are much more stable than the plastics available back 
when  your boat was built. By the way Patrick, where do you sail?

You need  a UV resistant plastic.  Starboard will work, or
UHMW (ultra high  molecular weight) plastic.  Nylon also
stands up to  UV.
